It really really really could happen...
A Lost Fight
0849H 29 April 2004, Thursday

Bobby fell very sick on Tuesday night. Brought him to the vet yesterday morning. He said he had a lump in his belly, and there were signs of pneumonia in his lungs. I had the option to put him to sleep then, but I wanted to see whether he could get better, so I got some medicine for him instead. He got worse during the day, and so I brought him back to the vet, and hospitalized him for the night, hoping the medication there can help him.

The nurse from the clinic just woke me up from my sleep. Bobby didn't make it.

I can't go back to sleep anymore...

 
Freedom is a right
2043H 26 April 2004, Monday

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. - this was on the box of one of my toys...

Anyway, since it's called "American Idol", shouldn't it be "Singaporean Idol" instead of "Singapore Idol"?

 
Loneliness is a Dirty Word
0041H 26 April 2004, Monday

Somehow, I feel alone today, despite going out with friends...

Big day tmrw. Wish me luck.

 
Zircon Says
1619H 25 April 2004, Sunday

Went to the Zircon Gov. Pawn Star gig at Zouk last night. It was very interesting, and I must say that they have a few pretty good tunes. Suzanne Walker was damn brave in her choice of outfit, and she's very daring and confident about her body, which is far from perfect, to put it nicely.

There was this song which they dedicated to the Singapore Procreation Campaign. The lyrics went something like this:

"Don't smoke cigarettes,
Don't take drugs,
Don't go out at night,
Just Fuck."

Out of the 4 lines of advice, there is only one which I seem to be taking lately. No prizes for guessing which one it is...

 
Flying Butts
0059H 23 April 2004, Friday

Was at Wala Wala just now. These 2 guys were sitting at the table next to mine, and I think they were both pretty drunk. One of them let slipped his cigarette butt and it hit me just above my left eye. They were very apologetic, and anyway, me being the peace-loving type, I let the matter pass. However I saw more butts flying in other directions. Anyway, the 2 of them almost got into a fight with this huge group of people at another table.

The moral of the story?

Always wear glasses when pubbing, to protect your eyes from flying butts...

 
Screwed-Up
2339H 21 April 2004, Wednesday

The co-ordinator from school screwed me up with something that she told me today. Luckily, it got cleared up by the professor in charge. After calming down, I think she was maybe just trying to cover her ass... But I could just be skeptical. Whatever.

 
Hand of God
1100H 21 April 2004, Wednesday

Lynette was trying to read my palm last night, but she said that there were too many lines to read. I have too many worries...

Maybe I should go see a professional to have my fortune told. I never really believed in such stuff, but I guess it'll be fun just to hear what the fortune teller may say about me...

 
Monday Ho Hum
2240H 19 April 2004, Monday

Ho hum Monday. Boring boring Monday. At least I got a presentation with my supervisor out of the way. Now to concentrate on doing what he wants me to do... Sigh...

Songs that I've taken a liking to lately:

"The Reason" by Hoobastank - A simple song with really sweet lyrics.

"Mexican Wine" by Fountains of Wayne - Lyrics that just sound good together, but what I really like is the attitude of the song...

"Shi Nian" by Eason Chan - Lyrics that I can relate to.

 
Not in the Mood
1826H 18 April 2004, Sunday

Haven't been in a good mood these few days. Don't ask me why. Even though I won a little at mahjong and ban lak over the weekend, I still feel pretty blue.

Last night was spent at Ben's place, a little gathering to celebrate the April babies. I think there was too little booze last night. Next time must remember to make sure that there is lots of booze.

Didn't go for soccer today, coz my knee still hurts. That totally spoilt the day for me. Ended up napping the whole of today so far. Things aren't looking great.

And there's still the Monday blues to come tomorrow. Argh! Think I need to get out of the house and do something tonight before I go bonkers!

 
Taxed
2147H 15 April 2004, Thursday

Have you filed for your income tax yet? If not, you only have a few hours left...

Anyway, finally got around to archiving the last 2 months entry. I actually just opened up my dreamweaver with nothing in particular to write about, then decided to clear up this page by sending the earlier entries into the archives... My, my, what a neat little boy I am...

If you have ever stepped into my room, you will know the irony in that last statement. Bleah.

 
Are you Hot?
1304H 14 April 2004, Wednesday

Met Rosalind Pho at Lynette's place last night. She's cute.

This entry better not get back to her...

And now for the weather report:

Hot, hot, and lagi hot! In fact, it's so hot, I think I expanded and grew a couple of centimetres... Where is the extra 2cm? I'm not telling... =P

 
Easter Suffering
1056H 12 April 2004, Monday

Quite frankly, it was a weekend to forget for me. To crown off the terrible few days, I think I twisted my knee during soccer, and am walking around with a slight limp now. Sigh...

 
Grandma's Grave
1632H 09 April 2004, Good Friday

Visited my grandma early in the morning. Had to leave home at 5-something am while I was still sound asleep...

My grandma has a nice big front porch, and she has a toad for a neighbour. The front porch always ends up as the pit for the fire whenever we visit her.

Well, our annual visits are pretty simple and routine... DIdn't really feel like going today actually, but I went for the sake of my parents...

 
Hangover Smile
1658H 08 April 2004, Thursday

Alcohol-induced happiness is fleeting. It hits you like a ton of falling bricks the morning after. I've been drinking too often and too much this week. My liver and I are not on talking terms.

 
Earmarked
1314H 07 April 2004, Wednesday

After toying with the idea for a while, I did this on impulse yesterday...

I got my upper ear pierced. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt during or after the piercing at all. Pleasantly surprised, and quietly satisfied.

Forgive me for the terrible picture, it's not easy when I can't see what I'm aiming at...

 
Just a thought
1719H 06 April 2004, Tuesday

Why penis? Why not pee-nis?

 
Better Man
1732H 05 April 2004, Monday

I didn't want to say the things I said. It hurt me to do so. But I said them because I'm trying to be a better man. I just want the best for you. I may not be the one.

I want to be selfish, but I cannot be. I want to be above all that. I just want you to be happy. I just want you to be well. I hope I'm right to do what I did.

If I was wrong, it'll just be another one of my mistakes.

I keep curling my lips upward to form a smile on my face. I keep doing that to chase away my hurt, my frustration, my disgust.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy for you. I guess that's enough for me.

 
A Brand New Me
0045H 04 April 2004, Sunday

So I updated the page that tells people about me. Big fat hairy deal. Who really cares a shit unless I'm some hot chick with lots of pics on that page, right? Bleah.

 
Just Kidding
0354H 03 April 2004, Saturday

T'was just an April Fools' joke. I pulled this stunt before a couple of years back, if I remember correctly... Bwahahaha

Anyway, I checked out the Lost in Translation soundtrack at HMV. It's brilliant, just like the film. Only thing was, it cost $32!!!!!! Guess who's searching for songs on Kazaa tonight?

 
End of the Blog
0029H 01 April 2004, Thursday

Bye everyone, it's been a fun few years... Hope it was for you too.
